Whats using all this space?

Nick1881 · 4 Mar 2009 at 08:46

I ordered 2 Samsung 64Gb SSD's yesterday from work so I will have a 128Gb C: drive.

Last night I check and my C: drive is currently 114Gb :eek:

but looking at the size of the folders it didn't add up.

Vista Ultimate 64bit installed with Office 2007 and COD4 is the only game installed. Anything I down goes on to my storage drives so I don't understand what is using all the space?

I need to ghost this drive and would rather it wasn't so big and also don't want it filling my new drives.

I will run Ccleaner when I get home, is there anything else I can do to free up some space?

Thanks

Thanks guys, I will have a look when I get home.

I also need a good Ghosting program to ghost my OS if you know of one.

Is that all dos based? As I need to ghost my OS from my raid array to my storage drive, then create new raid array and ghost it back on. I have a feeling this isn't going to be fun.

Still at work atm, should be home in about an hour.

These guys will be right though, but now I know where to look.

Well I just sorted it, I'm truly gob smacked.

I followed bledd's steps in post #3.

Before my C: drive was using 115Gb of space and now its 38.7Gb! Amazing.

Thanks.

Now to ghost my OS onto my new SSD's.
